I am getting my daughter a droid for Christmas. Was hoping to find an app that when she picks up the box with the phone in it, it will talk .... just to say something that gives it away that it is a droid. Needs to be able to work on a non-activated phone though.

I have never heard of anything like that. Non activated...that means no calls, no data. You could activate it....once she picks it upthe box, send her a txt message. You can actually add your own txt ringer.

You could do it during the night while she is sleeping. Then do presents first thing in the morning. If she notices that her old phone has no connection prior, just say yours has been acting funny this morning too.

Just make sure you test it out prior to the big moment, be a shame to find it was on silent, or too quiet!
